Lee Jessica Bootcut Jean - True To Black

Low rise means the waistband sits lower on your hips, typically a few inches below your natural waistline. This style is designed for a contemporary, relaxed fit around the midsection.

The size 26x33 indicates a 26-inch waist and a 33-inch inseam. We recommend measuring your natural waist and the length from your crotch to where you want the hem to fall with your preferred shoes. Refer to Lee's official sizing chart for the most accurate fit guidance. The model in the description wears 26/31, so 26x33 offers a longer inseam.

While you *can* wear them with flats, the bootcut style is generally designed to be worn with boots or shoes with a slight heel. This helps the hem fall correctly and prevents it from dragging or looking bunched. If wearing with flats, you might find them too long and may need to hem them.

The description states 'soft feel' and 'Cotton' material. While 100% cotton jeans typically offer less stretch than blends, they will naturally conform to your body with wear. If a blend is used (info not provided), they might offer more immediate stretch. Info needed: Exact fabric composition for stretch details.

To best preserve the black color, wash the jeans as infrequently as possible, always turn them inside out, use cold water, and a detergent specifically formulated for dark colors. Air drying away from direct sunlight also helps.

The Jessica Bootcut Jean is designed to be flattering for many body types due to its leg-lengthening bootcut and comfortable low-rise. However, personal preference for rise and leg style varies, so try them on to see if the silhouette works well for your individual figure.

Cotton can sometimes shrink or stretch. Ensure you follow care instructions to wash in cold water and air dry. If still an issue, consider a size adjustment or embrace the natural stretch of denim with wear.

Black denim is prone to fading over time. To minimize this, always wash inside out in cold water with a detergent designed for dark colors. Avoid direct sunlight when drying.

The '33' in 26x33 refers to the inseam length. If the hem drags even with appropriate footwear (boots, heels), consider having them professionally hemmed to your preferred length. Remember the bootcut is designed for specific shoes.
